I haven't forwarded this bug because upstream is not actively working on gfax since a long time, and soonish when the GNOME print API is removed from debian (see #542559) gfax will have to be removed from the archive. Besides gfax lack of development progress, what's the point of storing a password in a secure fashion if the application sends the password in plaintext over the network anyhow (using a FTP based protocol)? > > Thanks, > Rhonda > > -- Regards, Mirco 'meebey' Bauer PGP-Key ID: 0xEEF946C8 FOSS Developer mee...@meebey.net http://www.meebey.net/ PEAR Developer mee...@php.net http://pear.php.net/ Debian Developer mee...@debian.org http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
